A PROPERTY COMES WITH MORE THAN FOUR WALLS AND A DEED. 🏡
Before purchasing a home or investment property, it's important to understand whether any recorded restrictions or covenants may affect how you can use the property.
Deed restrictions and restrictive covenants are legal provisions that may limit certain activities, improvements, or uses of a property. Depending on the language of the recorded documents, these restrictions may address matters such as exterior modifications, property maintenance, building locations, landscaping, or operating a business from a residence.
For properties located in communities governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), additional rules and requirements may also apply. These documents can influence what homeowners are permitted to do with their property.
However, not every restriction is automatically enforceable. Its validity and enforceability depend on several factors, including the wording of the document, the circumstances surrounding it, and applicable state law.
Before closing, take time to review the property's recorded documents and understand the obligations that may come with ownership. Knowing these details can help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected limitations after purchasing.
